Bucket Squats, running stairs, and 6K running alternated daily with 15K on a bike. A lean high protein diet. Fish, poultry, and limited red meat. Vegetables and whole grains.

In essence, my years from 18 to 21 wearing a beanie, "snooping and pooping" and "eating snakes". Hooh Ra!! Good times.

He would be better off just lifting than doing all that cardio if the goal is to add muscle.

Tillman has surprised me. Two months ago, I w/have used him as part of a package to get a hitter or starting pitcher.Whether he's turned a corner for good, I don't know.I really think you have to wait till at least the early part of next year to be sure.

Besides the two fastballs covered in lipstick and eyeliner to Kinsler and Soto, Tillman pitched VERY WELL. If he goes the rest of the season pitching like this, I'll say he has turned the corner. Never know for sure with young pitchers. I thought Matusz turned the corner in the 2nd half of 2010.

Maybe it's because none of the other cavalry members have panned out and my expectations are low for any of them, maybe its because I always expect the worst when it comes the O's, or maybe he actually did do really good yesterday. Either way, I was very impressed with his outing yesterday. The curveball looked great and going 6.2 giving up 3er against that Texas lineup was awesome.
